1000 Francs CFA Goddess of Happiness

At 0.311 g of .9999 fine gold, this belongs to the wave of fractional bullion issues that emerged from the Perth Mint and European private minting houses targeting collectors priced out of full-sovereign product — coins struck to specification for issuing authorities whose connection to the named territory is largely nominal. Gabon's CFA franc zone membership means monetary policy is set in Paris, and the BEAC, not Libreville, controls issuance. A 1000 FCFA denomination coin of this weight will never circulate.
